I recently bought a custom build pc. So, I have:

  • Processor: Intel i7 6800k
  • Motherboard: Asus X99 Deluxe II
  • RAM: Vengeance LPX (16GBx2) 3000Mhz
  • Graphics Card: Zotac GTX1080 Amp Extreme

Can someone guide me how to achieve stable overclock. I have no knowledge in this matter, so it would be of great help if someone guides me with the detailed procedures.

This is pretty good one for intel cpus, and if you need more details just dive into their forum as they are a community of.. well, overclockers.

And I said Intel, not skylake in particular. There's a similiar guide for every generation and platform on that forum.

I was unable to find a Broadwell-e guide.

Like it's different than any other sky, kaby or haswell and needs a different guide to understand the basic of OC a Intel cpu in the last decade?

 

Like there are absolutely no threads about his specific CPU to prevent problems and looking for specific values that can go good on first try like this, this, this or this ?

Answer his question instead of making these smart and useful posts to make your count increase. Something has to.

Wow man chill. And what's wrong with smart and useful posts?

And, uh, yeah, Broadwell-e is quite different from skylake, namely in voltages, and even safety with certain benchmarking programs. 

Oh and lets take those links in order.

1. Useful, but not a proper, comprehensive guide by any means.

2. Same as 1

3. lolwut you call that a guide? 

4. Same as 3 but even worse.

 

Pay attention to his CPU architecture and maybe you will help him more, like @nerdslayer1 did.
